With a bonus "Copart" aspect to the question.
I've been searching for a D2 or cheap LR3 as I would like to have my own LR3 that I can modify for trails and add some ham radio and other things that the bride has decreed will not happen to our Winston, which is sensible as our LR3 is a really nice specimen of the breed. During a recent scan through the Copart auction site I found a 2005 LR3 which looks pretty decent except for the deer strike. The air bags deployed (strange, as I hit a deer at speed in my E60 BMW and didn't deploy the SRS) and the headlight is broken, so I know at the least I need airbags and a headlight, available on fleabay and other places for reasonable >$1K. My concern is primarily the airbag deployment. When the pressure sensor in the drivers door failed in my wife's Audi A4 it also disabled the parking brake system which then flashed and annoyed us and concerned her until I replaced the sensor and reset the system using Carista-if you won a VAG product you need that app.

So, when the airbags deploy and the SRS warning comes on, what else is disabled or restricted for no good reason in a LR3? Will it be drivable at normal speeds? I'm not worried about safety, I wear my seat belt and all, more about the nanny state giving me an extra incentive to fix the system by screwing up other systems. Will the GAP tool reset the SRS?

My max bid is probably in the neighborhood of $1.5K. It is represented as "runs and drives" but that can mean anything from it'll go coast to coast without issues or that you can drive it onto the trailer or flatbed for the trip home. Some might say "worth it for parts" but I don't need anything. This one is the closest to my house, about a 100 miles away, but I can actually park it at our weekend cabin we own just up the road.

 

I test drove one that had both airbags deployed, and had been repaired. I use the term repaired loosely as it did not have any airbags and the SRS light was illuminated. Drove normally. I have no idea what if anything special had to be done to do so.

 

Firing of the airbags is controlled by a number of impact sensors throughout the car. The passenger and driver air bags are primarily triggered by two sensors in at the front of the car located behind the front grill area. These controllers have accelerometers and microcontrollers that signal the SRS system to fire the airbags and if needed the seatbelt pretensioners. (there are 6 other sensors that are triggered by side and rear impacts, they're 1 in each B and 1 in each front door and 1 in each rear quarter panel above the rear wheelarchs.

I'm not sure if the impact sensors (accelerometers) need to be replaced after an impact, only a diagnostic will be able to determine that. However, aside form the front lamp and airbags you should check the pretensioners as they will need replaced if the fired.
